Deeney makes PFA selection

Deeney, who scored at Brighton to help seal promotion on Saturday, is Watford’s sole representative in a line-up featuring two players from Bournemouth.

Eddie Howe’s side will all-but join Watford in the Premier League if they beat Bolton on Monday night, and right-back Simon Francis and winger Matt Ritchie are both included.

The selection is dominated by the promotion-chasing clubs, with Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Kieren Westwood the only inclusion from a team outside the top eight.

Derby’s Richard Keogh and Russell Martin of Norwich complete the back four along with George Friend, whose Middlesbrough team-mate Grant Leadbitter is named in a midfield featuring Bakary Sako of Wolves and Brentford’s on-loan Tottenham youngster Alex Pritchard.

Partnering Deeney in attack is the division’s top goalscorer, Daryl Murphy of Ipswich.
